Extremely Long Render Times

angelo-c wrote on 4/3/2020, 4:09 PM

I've just bought Sony Vegas Pro 16, and i'm trying to render a video i've just edited and the estimated time is just climbing and climbing, going up to hours to render a 1 minute video, i've checked in task manager and Sony Vegas is using up 100% of my CPU when rendering, and I can't figure out how to render on my GPU, I've gone to customize template and in Encode mode, the only options are AMD VCE and Mainconcept AVC. Anyone know how I can get it to render on my GPU?

Specs:

GPU: Radeon RX 580

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460

16 GB RAM

I appreciate your effort, but I've already tried pertty much everything there before making this post. I just need to find out how to render with my GPU..

Then please show screenshots from your Rendertemplate, your Project-settings and file propertys from your Footage by Mediainfo

AMD VCE is GPU accelerated rendering. However, if you have a ton of effects (or very CPU intensive effects like Neat Video) on your video, that will slow it down anyway.

The only effect I have is RSMB, and while I'm rendering my CPU is at 100% and GPU 4%... And currently saying 7 hours to render a 1 minute video.

Motion blur can be a processor intensive task. What's happening is your CPU is being bogged down by RSMB, so your GPU is having to wait for it to finish doing its thing before it can encode the frame, which is why your GPU usage is only at 4%.

Disable RSMB and see if the problem persists.

Oh okay, you were right, turned it off and it renders fairly quickly, however, RSMB is vital for the video I'm trying to make... so is there anything I can do to get around this?

You could encode 30 fps with Resampling Off and adjust your motion blur to suit that frame rate

You can also poke around in RSMB's settings and see if there's options to tune RAM usage or GPU acceleration.

Thank you so much, realised there was an option in RSMB settings to turn on GPU, and it pretty much fixed it, rendered 3 min video in 4 minutes, better than 6 hours. Thank you :)

Glad it helped. Also, if you ever get low memory errors when rendering, what that means is RSMB is taking so much of your GPU's VRAM that it isn't leaving enough for Vegas to do its thing, so see if there's a setting to tune how much GPU RAM gets used. I've had that happen before with Neat Video.

Stupid question, where stands RSMB for?

@angelo-c your source media is exactly 60 fps, set your rendertemplate manually also to exactly 60 fps. This will also speed up rendertime, especially when smart resample was enabled.

@vkmast Thanks, understood.

Just wondering the need for such a plugin, when shooting correctly with 180 degrees shutter. Makes to my opinion only sense with low framerates shooting with fast shutterspeeds or for animated graphics, but not for video with 60 fps.

How did u rendered with the GPU? Can u tell me?
